Enter Block Rotations

Each day follows a pattern, called a block rotation, that determines the order in which blocks, or periods, meet throughout the day. For example, on rotation day #1, students might follow the block rotation below:

• Block A meets 1st, block B meets 2nd, and so on, with block G meeting last. This block rotation is entered in AdminPlus as A1B1C1D1E1F1G1, with each letter representing a block and each digit representing the number of times its corresponding block has met in the rotation schedule. The blocks are ordered based on their meeting times.

On rotation day #2, let's say the blocks meet in a different order so that students follow the block rotation below:

• Block B meets 1st, block C meets 2nd, and so on, with block A meeting last. This block rotation is entered in AdminPlus as B2C2D2E2F2G2A2.

The Scheduling module is flexible, allowing you to enter your school's unique block rotations using the Customize Scheduling program. To enter block rotations, do the following:

1. In Scheduling, click Cust SC.
2. In the Customize Scheduling Plus dialog box, click 1. View/edit block rotation #1, and then click Next.
   

   If your school has multiple rotations, you can customize additional rotations by clicking 4. View/edit block rotation #2-9 (print only).

3. In the Rotations column of the Entering Scheduling Rotationdialog box, enter your school's block rotation for each day.
   • Example: Let's say your school follows a fixed rotation. There are 5 days in this rotation and 7 blocks per day, with each block meeting during the same time slot every day. In this example, you'd enter your block rotations as follows:
     
     Let's say your school follows a waterfall rotation. There are 7 days in this rotation and 7 blocks per day, with each block shifting to a different time slot each day. In this example, you'd enter your rotation as follows:
